Carol's Bio

Well hey there!My
name is Carol and just in case you’re interested I thought I would share a
little about myself here.I’m originally
from California, being born and raised in San Diego.I must admit to having a pretty much carefree
young life enjoying all the amenities of a small (back then SD was not so big),
but growing city.I had the ocean, a
good solid family, lots of friends, wild imagination, great health, and enough
energy to spend all day on the run. My early life was… well…just as it should
be.Of course, you can’t stay young
forever and life had to get a bit more serious.In high school, I enjoyed science and always thought I would be a
doctor. But when I learned how much
school they required I quickly changed my goal and became a nurse.This ended up being a good choice for me and
I enjoyed my work).My nursing career
spanned more than 30 years.I had no
children and lived with a man for 20 years as my “common law”, so they say in
California.He eventually turned traitor
so I was looking for a change when I met Misty online.She was working in Iceland but retiring to
the US.We became good friends.When it was time for her to move back to the
states I asked where she was going to live.She replied with “someplace where the pace is slower and money goes
further”.I sheepishly asked, “can I
come along?”She thought I was joking
and said, “Sure”. Long story short we
ended up in Arkansas.I continued to
work as a nurse first private duty then home health.I turned 60 in October this year and retired
in Dec.I finally have time to pursue my
hobbies of woodworking, carving, painting, gardening and what not.I love tinkering with tools, fixing things,
and creating art for the sake of art or just because.I hope to live a long healthy life, (so far
so good) because I have a lot left to do.I could start by organizing my workshop.Yikes.Later, more to come about the workshop.😊
